Anaheim Ducks vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction

The Ducks are going to be on tired legs and they also are the worst teams in this matchup. The Ducks are averaging 2.51 goals per game and that type of offense isn’t going to be good enough to get the job done. The Hurricanes offense has been strong all season and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. The Ducks will have no answer, and this will be a comfortable victory. Back the Hurricanes.
